Jim Croce : His Greatest Hits - performed by Teddy Goldstein, with Rob Stagno on lead guitar and Tom Zovich on bass!

Why Croce?

Growing up in the 70’s, with an older brother and sister, all I heard coming out of their stereos was James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Cats Stevens, Carol King, Carly Simon, CSN and of course, Jim Croce. As a little kid, his stories about truckers, pool hustlers, roller derby queens, and of course Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown were fascinating to me. I also loved his songs about yearning and missing love. But it wasn’t until I began writing songs of my own that I realized just how incredible Jim Croce’s music was. For me the crux of Croce is, saying so much, with so few words. Croce’s songs are packed with wild images, funny stories and larger than life characters, all told in these perfect little 3-4 minute ditty’s. I love having the opportunity to re-tell the songs of Jim Croce.
